Two roughly rectangular pits or possibly platforms are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs taken in 1945. The southernmost is approximately 8 by 6 metres and the northern is likely to be of similar dimensions, although its north-east corner is unclear. They are parallel to a trackway, and may be related to it. The features are not visible on any later available aerial photographs and may be of Second World War date, perhaps the site of buildings. The area has since been developed as a caravan park.
